How does GDPR regulate the hotel industry?
With GDPR in effect, guests need to have a clear understanding about what personal data hoteliers require from them, who can access it and what their intentions are with said data.
Here are our recommendations on what your business can do to align with these regulations:
Request consent from your guests for recording their data
Allow your guests to exercise their rights
Hire a data protection officer
Make sure that your team fully understands GDPR and its implications
